Noise Levels
Do you have to yell at the passengers in the back? If you've got small children, aren't you always yelling anyway? At least make sure they hear you loud and clear.

  • Start with the fan off, vents shut, radio off and windows closed.
  • Can you hear the engine when it's idling? On acceleration?
  • Can you hear road and tire noise? How loud?
  • Wind noise with windows up-do you have to yell?
  • Wind noise with windows down-do you have to send signals?
  • Does anything sound loose or ill-fitting?
